I thought that the function svn_xml_is_xml_safe() was our magic ticket,
but upon looking at its implementation, it seems to be overly
restrictive. Look at the bitmask it uses: it won't allow valid UTF8
through!

This is a pretty old function... are there latent bugs lying around?

I suspect we need a new function that allows xml-safe UTF8, and
disallows non-xml-safe UTF8.
